  • PaRappa the Rapper Team Working on Wii Game

    The team that worked on PaRappa the Rapper, artist Rodney Alan Greenblat and musician and game designer Masaya Matsuura, are working on a music based game exclusively for the Wii. The still unnamed game is expected late in 2008. There are pretty much no details about the game, yet, but I’m sure it’s going to…

  • Wii Virtual Console Update 12/10

    Pokemon Snap, Ghosts ‘n Goblins, and BASEBALL STARS 2 head to the Virtual Console this week. I always liked Ghosts ‘n Goblins, but it was hard as hell. One time, Thrasher and I played Super Ghosts ‘n Goblins (I know, the update is for Ghosts ‘n Goblins on the NES, but this story must be…

  • Nintendo Reports Huge Sales

    The Nintendo DS set a sales record last week (between November 18 – 24), selling more than 653,000 units! The previous title holder? The Game Boy Advance, moving 600,000 for the same time period in 2005. Well done Nintendo, well done.

  • Namco-Bandai Announces New Wii RPG

    The official site for the upcoming Namco-Bandai RPG has gone live and you can check it out here. What does it all mean? Well, the game’s title is Fragile and it’s a dungeon-crawler. The game is being co-developed by tri-Crescendo (they created the PS2 Japanese only Venus & Braves, which I always wanted to play,…

  • Virtual Console Monday: 11/26/07

    Double Dribble, Vegas Stakes, and Ecco Jr. I think I only played Ecco Jr. (I got scared playing it, fear of deep water), so I can’t say if the other two are awesome and/or radical. What I do remember is seeing Vegas Stakes in bargain bins everywhere…you couldn’t escape it. The image of that box…

  • PS3 Beats Wii in Japan

    For the second week in a row, Sony’s PS3 has outsold the Wii in Japan. Famitsu publisher Enterbrain lists Wii sales at roughly 36,000 and PS3 sales at 53,000 for the week ending November 18. Who knew that new 40GB PS3 would be so popular? Howard Stringer, Sony’s CEO did. In fact, he said the…

  • Virtual Console Update: Wrecking Crew, Sonic 3D Blast, and Super Air Zonk

    I always wanted to play the Zonk games, but I never had TurboGrafx16, nor did anyone I knew. Now I finally can…well, I mean, I could if I had a Wii.

  • Super Mario Galaxy: Top Rated Game of All Time

    GameRankings, a website that combines all the ratings given to a game and then averages the total to get a more balanced score, is showing that Super Mario Galaxy is now the top rated game of all time. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the previous leader, holding the top place for nine…

  • Nintendo of America Hates You

    Yeah, I said it. See, in Japan, Nintendo has this awesome program called Club Nintendo. Members of Club Nintendo get all kinds of cool gifts we never see in the U.S. This year, Club Nintendo is offering three really nice gifts: a Club Nintendo desk calendar (just skip the calendar, it’s not the awesome part),…

  • Super Smash Bros. Updates Suck Lately

    Seriously, I’m getting scared that there aren’t going to be any more new characters announced for Brawl at this point. Smash Bros. Dojo hasn’t announced a new character since October 25th (we got King Dedede, do we really need more Kirby characters). The updates have been pretty boring, too, but I guess if you have…

  • Virtual Console Update: Volleyball, Axelay, and Blue’s Journey

    Super Mario Galaxy is out today, but that hasn’t stopped Nintendo from releasing three new Virtual Console games. I would imagine today would be a bad day to release a VC game considering that, which is sad because Axelay was pretty awesome.

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Update: Ike Final Smash

    Every update that goes by I’m thinking “Where are the new characters?” I thought this Smash Bros. was going to have the most characters out of all the Smash Bros. games. I’m honestly getting scared that Captain Falcon isn’t going to be in Brawl, which would not be cool. And where is the Square character?…
